Grayslake Rotary donating to food pantry

Grayslake Rotary members will donate $1,000 to Avon Township’s food pantry next week. Club officials said the check will be presented to Township Supervisor Sam Yingling on April 16 during a weekly meeting at The Vine in Grayslake. “Our club is committed to giving back to the community and participating in service projects throughout Grayslake. There are families in need of food, and we realize this time of year and the Avon Township Food Pantry often times struggles to keep their shelves stocked. As a club, we want to help fill those shelves and help feed those less fortunate in our community,” Rotary member Greg Koeppen says. Grayslake Rotary recently hosted a wine-tasting event at The Vine in downtown Grayslake to raise cash for Avon’s food pantry and other local programs and services.
